Find a local wedding car hire near you

Not sure what kind of wedding car hire you need or what services are included? Here are some important factors you’ll need to consider when choosing a wedding car:

Style

If you’ve picked a theme or style for your wedding, hire a wedding car that’s the perfect match. This is especially important if you want to use your wedding car as a backdrop for your professional wedding photos. The most common wedding car styles are modern, classic, and vintage. A vintage or classic wedding car hire might be better suited to a country or church wedding, while a modern car or limousine is perfect for a city wedding. Ask for plenty of photos and set an appointment to inspect the car ahead of time to make sure it’s the right style for your event. 

Size and number of cars

Next, you’ll want to confirm who’s travelling in your hire vehicle so you know how many cars you need and the number of seats. You’ll usually need at least one car for a bride with two bridesmaids, and father of the bride. If you’d like a special car for the groom and groomsmen, or your wedding party includes more bridesmaids and groomsmen, you’ll likely need two or more cars. If you’d like to save an extra seat, see if you can drive the car yourself. 

Timing

Once you know your wedding dates and your schedule on the day, you’ll need to confirm this with your wedding car hire service so they can reserve your spot. If you’re hiring a chauffeur or driver, they’ll coordinate details with your car hire service. It’s a good idea to create a detailed schedule to ensure everyone turns up on time (and at the right venue).

Decorations

You might want to decorate your wedding car with ribbons or a floral arrangement to tie in with your wedding colours. Ask your wedding car hire company if they provide this service, or if they have any guidelines on what you’re allowed to attach to the car. They’ll probably have some ideas on how to dress the car so it looks it's absolute best. 

Logistics

Check if there are any limits on where you can drive the car, different road conditions it can handle, and any special driving instructions (especially if it’s an older vintage car). It’s also important to check the car’s insurance policy and make sure you’re covered. Plus, consider how you’ll drop your wedding car hire back at the end of the hire period (whether it’s later that evening or the next day). One more thing - most wedding car hire services don’t ask you to clean the car. It’s in their interest to take care of this themselves - especially with classic and vintage cars. 

Already got enough to think about without car logistics? You could hire a wedding planner to coordinate everything for you.
